Hello All! Just wondering what the voltage on this item is? I live overseas, and am trying to figure out if I can use it with a simple transformer.

wish I could answer your question. I just know when it is plugged in and I turn it on. it works.

Remember this item is 110v and won't work outside the US. Most European countries are 220v the UK and Ireland are 240v. You can't use an adapter and a transformer would be too expensive as they eat up electricity. They have these in other European countries in most hardware and DIY stores like OBI or Hornbach in Germany, Homebase or B and Q in the UK and Ireland.

I believe it is only 110v. I do not remember any 220v plugs or transformers.I no longer have my unit.

Thanks for the question The answer is sorry become very slow.This product has been intended only for use in Japan. It becomes possible to use a transformer 100v in NYC.

argghh! I think the answer is 'No'! I bought it and had it shipped to me in NZ and didn't even think about the stupid American 110 volts! Plugged it in and the fuse or bulb blew and smoke came out. Now I have to a) fix it, b) buy a step-down transformer. Can't believe companies still make separate versions of things rather than making them dual voltage!

I'm wondering the same thing, but in reverse. Since this is sold through Amazon US, will it be ready for 110 volts or 220? Someone told me that they should be set to "autovoltage" and that way I could just buy the adapter I need for the plug, but that isn't specified here.Thanks

This device is for US voltage only, 120V, 60hz, 1800 watts on my version. In order to use it OUTSIDE the USA, you will need a 3000 Watt 120v-240v Step up-down Transformer. They are also sold on amazon for about $60-$70.

I would also like to know if this is dual voltage (I understand I would need to use an adapter) I just want to make sure it's dual voltage first. Does it say 110-220 or something like that???

This is a 110V, I am using a 230V to 110V step down transformer to make this work which I bought from a local electical supplier. Althought our line frequency here is 50Hz, I don't see any issue with my current setup.

You will need a transformer for the voltage. We moved here from Europe and are using step-ups for the same purpose. That way our European equipment works here in the USA. I hope that help!

I have been using this transformer (two of them) in India (power sources 220V 50 HZ) for over two years now to power a number of other US devices -- a 40" US LCD TV (rated 110V 60 Hz), a DVD player, an Onkyo 5.1 Receiver, a polk sub-woofer. I just made sure to limit the devices I hook up to each transformer at less than 50% of the transformer rating -- 500W max rating of all devices connected to a 1000 Watt transformer. I am very satisfied. I am back looking to order a few more for someone I know and saw your question. I think I will leave a review too.

Don't know, never got to use it , as unknown to me , living in Australia, the US voltage was incompatible with ours, & the cost & size of a transformer made it useless. Learnt a valuable lesson!!

sorry did not pay attention to that.just make sure you have a transformer if you are gonna use it some other country.

Hi Michael, I don't know anything about power transformers, all I know is, I plugged it in and it works. I live in the U.S, so it works here.

Hello, I'm sorry i'm not exactly sure what voltage this unit can work with. And I'm sorry but at this time our company only ships to the United States. Have a great day!

Me too, I really need to know if it is 110v or 220v My house has no power to 220volts, just 110v You know where I could found this information? Thanks!
